Design quality training with a structured approach. A logical, step-by-step method that shows you what to consider at every stage — straight to the point, and focused on practicalities.
Being ‘good on your feet’ isn’t always enough.
Yet it is one that is not often given proper attention. Most focus tends to be on delivery skills, and design is somehow expected to be ‘picked up’.
But good training can only be achieved if proper thought, time and effort have been put into the design of the training and that thought and effort is recorded. Giving proper consideration to design means that the training is more likely to meet individual and business needs, and produce tangible results.
This e-book will help you to design quality training by taking a structured approach. Although it is written from the perspective of designing face-to-face training, most of the principles apply equally well to other forms of learning design.
An essential for the toolkit of any training designer.
